Topic: See The Season Off In Style....The Famous Crask Inn (Read 3784 times)

Not for the faint of heart this is the real survivors season end bash for all non-lightweights and lovers of the wilds.Shitty weather a hopeful bonus ;cause this is when the whold character of this place comes alive and burns into your sole, let alone your memory.Think 'Hound of the Baskervilles', '39 Steps' and you're right on the money 'cause this is straight out a Connon Doyle or John Buchan (it actually features in one of his) novels. However sometimes 'Dog Soldiers' or 'American Werewolf in London' also springs to mind

Fishing is on a host of waters from the major expedition (of which there are loads) through to roadside troot burns or lochans. From the mighty Shin or Badenloch through to the scattering of moorland lochans worthy of a cast or two as you pass.Some big name salmon waters close by as well for those without a mortgage (although you'd need to be quick as the season tends to end last day in Sept in these parts) such as Naver or Helsdale (or Cassley, Shin, Oykel, Laxford, i'll stop now )But it's the lure of the wild troots in a wild setting that does it for me with a big dose of the Crask hospitality to follow. Once you've wandered the hills and settled down to Mike and Kai's evening meal you'll see why it's got a great reputation.

Anyway digs are between the Cottage (bunkhoose) not selubrious but full of character (sleeps 12), Hotel for those who can't stand the snoring, Caravan (wait 'til you see the Sandy 'n Stavross's Keba Van, brilliant ) or canvas, for the really intrepid.

We're looking at Wednesday 28th Sept through to Mondy 3rd Oct for this one (or anything in between if this is too long for you, although Friday and Saturday are the big nights.

So there you have it guys, get those broonie points racked up now 'cause yer gonna need em.

Who's up for this? Quality bottles rule as always with cheese and biscuits also compulsroy to keep the cholesterol up during the quiz sessions. A few Crask veterans on the site can testify to this.

Wednesday till the monday for me and ,Bill and Iain and Colin if they are allowed to go due to the fact they dont have internet or are a member of any forum ,Anybody out there looking for an end of season bash ,this one takes the beating ,not for the faint hearted mind you ,late nights early mornings fuzzy heads but best off all like minded people looking for a spot of fishing and a bit of a crack Bob 3 in a row
